Implement type-safe ConstraintValidator resolution mechanism ------------------------------------------------------------ Key: BVAL-99 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/BVAL-99 Project: Bean Validation Issue Type: New Feature Components: ri-general Reporter: Emmanuel Bernard I did implement the embryo that determine the type of a given ConstraintValidator See ValidatorTypeHelper class and its test. With this type, the algo needs to find the best matching ConstraintValidator for a given declaration. Here is a proposal: For a given type T when a constaint is applied, List all CV whose type U is such that U.isAssignableFrom(T) is true then for each element U of this list: - if another element in the list is such that U.isAssignableFrom(V), remove U if there is more than one remaining element => raise the AmbiguousException Also when a Constraint is analyzed, if 2 CV target the same type, an exception should be raised. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/secure/Administrators.... - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
